It is a well-known fact that the summer drop off is real! During this downtime many students fail to engage in meaningful learning and do not stimulate their young brains resulting in regression upon returning to the classroom. Participation in summer enrichment opportunities can benefit students in a variety of ways. The particular benefits vary depending on the type of program or experience.
A Summer Enrichment program is defined as any productive experience that extends beyond the traditional school curriculum. There are three main areas in which students can benefit from such programs such as: academically, socially, and personally. As Elizabeth Mechling (my colleague) and I thought about the need for summer opportunities for our students we decided to create a database for all of the summer enrichment programs that we came across so that our students can remain engaged in the educational process over the summer.
Enclosed is the fruit of our labor. ENJOY!
